A new study is drawing the most detailed picture yet of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung, revealing mechanisms that result in lethal COVID-19, and may explain long-term complications and show how COVID-19 differs from other infectious diseases. New York, May 03, 2021.- Led by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos CollegeContinuar Leyendo

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore discovered a new mitochondrial peptide called MOCCI that plays an important role in regulating inflammation of blood vessel and immunity. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, revealed howContinuar Leyendo

For reasons not yet clear, pregnant women infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 are more likely to experience preterm births, pre-eclampsia, and other neonatal problems than non-infected women. New Haven, CT, April 24, 2021.- A team of Yale scientists decided to investigate whether the virus could be affecting placentalContinuar Leyendo

In a worldwide study of 2,100 pregnant women, those who contracted COVID-19 during pregnancy were 20 times more likely to die than those who did not contract the virus. Oxford, April 23, 2021.- UW Medicine and University of Oxford doctors led this first-of-its-kind study, published today in JAMA Pediatrics. TheContinuar Leyendo

Coronavirus researchers led by Professor Rolf Hilgenfeld of the University of Luebeck and PD Dr. Albrecht von Brunn of the Ludwig-Maximilian Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have discovered how SARS viruses enhance the production of viral proteins in infected cells, so that many new copies of the virus can be generated.Continuar Leyendo

Children with weakened immune systems have not shown a higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 infection despite commonly displaying symptoms, a new study suggests. Highfield, April 22, 2021.-  a 16-week period which covered the first wave of the pandemic, researchers from Southampton carried out an observational study of nearly 1500Continuar Leyendo

A new study led by researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania uses computer modeling to suggest that eviction bans authorized during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the infection rate and not only protected those who would have lost their housing but also entire communities from the spread ofContinuar Leyendo

It has been known for about a year that minks can become infected with SARS-CoV-2. The virus had been transmitted from humans to farmed mink and mutated in infected animals. Mutations were acquired in the spike protein, which is crucial for the entry of the virus into host cells andContinuar Leyendo

Some survivors of ebolavirus outbreaks make antibodies that can broadly neutralize these viruses — and now, scientists at Scripps Research have illuminated how these antibodies can disable the viruses so effectively. The insights may be helpful for developing effective therapies. Los Angeles, April 19, 2021.- Ebolavirus is a family ofContinuar Leyendo
